It’s been a while since I have sat down and recollected my thoughts. Life has all of a sudden seemed so busy since the UFE study days and things have just seemed to kept pushing and shoving me along. Perhaps it was because in the past many years, I usually have plans laid out and classes registered (ex. dance, skating) before September, and this year, because of studying for exams in mid-September, all my plans have been delayed. Perhaps it was because I have pushed aside certain things (hobbies like playing piano and going to dance classes) to fit in other things in my life (ex. volunteer). Or perhaps I am at a point where I feel like I’m straying, in the middle ground, stagnant, not being sure where I’m heading with the things I’m doing/things I’m not doing.
It’s likely all of those factors combined. I need to reshift and refocus my life. I need to find an inspiration.
In terms of for my career goals, I need to work on meeting my personal expectations – I should spend more time in developing my skills and make myself go that much more deeper. On the other hand, I’m not sure where these 2 years would get me and where I would go after. Surprisingly though, I actually found audit fun for these few days when I was an acting senior and took ownership over my work.
As for my hobbies, I have put it down to focus on my studying for the past few months, but again, if I pick it up again, where is it going to get me? Perhaps, hobbies should remain as hobbies, purely for the enjoyment.
Other areas of demand include volunteer work and family, which sometimes consume a lot of my energy.
Where should I spend the most time and energy on? Should I still diverge all my time across all the different things? Or should I really focus on what’s most important to me right now (i.e. career development) and limit my effort on everything else. Time really is limited – what is the “best” way to use my time?
I don’t know the answer. All I know is that I just need to decide, prioritize and act on it, and focus heavily on time management so I can maximize the usage of the time I have.
A sky full of lighters. I have a great feeling about this year.
